Embeddable Common-Lisp

The most commonly used programming language in embedded systems is
a low-level language C. Despite its versatility, it lacks many
high-level constructs and isn't safe. One of the projects we actively
develop and maintain is an implementation of the Common Lisp
language called the
Embeddable Common-Lisp. It
shares its runtime with C and C++ languages, which makes mixing
Common Lisp and C/C++ easy.

ECL (Embeddable Common-Lisp) is an interpreter and compiler that supports
such operating systems as Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, OS X, Solaris,
Windows and Android, running on top of the Intel, Sparc, Alpha,
PowerPC and ARM processors.

This stable and mature implementation of Common Lisp is used
around the world by both professionals and hobbyists. Thanks
to its low resource requirements and reasonable license it is a
perfect fit for embedding into applications with high demand for
flexibility and extensibility.

The implementation is available on terms of a very liberal license LGPL
2.1+, which allows unlimited distribution and inclusion in other
software. For commercial support please

Petromat Mikro terminal

The company Petro Consulting asked us to
build a cheap-to-produce and modern terminal for fuel
distribution. They sell it to logistic companies. Here are some of the
requirements my prototype had to meet:

System authenticates and authorizes terminal users, logging all the
transactions in a database, and registers the results reported by
probes. The application allows translations to other languages. It is
easily configurable either from the terminal or the website.

Additionally we have prepared the procedure for the deployment of
the software. Devices are built on top of cheap boards with ARM1176JZF-S
processors.

The project has concluded with success and the device is now sold on
the fueling automation market.

Other software

We maintain and develop many other applications and libraries. Here are
some highlights:

ECL Android –
this application is in the early development stage and isn't ready for
production yet. A port is available on the terms of the AGPL-3.0+
license.

ANSI Common Lisp test suite
– originally written by Paul Dietz, test suite which verifies
conformance of the CL implementation. Very helpful for implementers.

metering –
a portable Common-Lisp profiler tool originally written by Mark
Kantrowitz.

cl-bench – Lisp
package indended for performance bencharking of different Common
Lisp implementations.

translate –
a small abstraction layer for Common Lisp that facilitates
translations to various languages at runtime.
